Jay Bruce or Shin-Soo Choo in center for the Reds?
Dec 12, 2012, 8:22 AM EDT
I like the big Reds-Indians-Diamondbacks trade from the Reds' perspective. That lineup is gonna be stacked now and they have to be everyone's favorite in the NL Central.
One of the points of concern, however, is what the Reds would do with their outfield defense. The team doesn't have a natural center fielder now and Choo has actually turned into a below average right fielder in the past couple of years. How is he gonna handle center field?
ESPN's Jim Bowden, however, says it's not a question of how Choo will handle center. It's a matter of how Jay Bruce will:
Talked to two scouts who scouted Choo last year and both opined that Bruce would end up in CF and Choo in RF after Dusty evaluates them
— JIM BOWDEN (@JimBowdenESPNxm) December 12, 2012
Bruce is younger and has actually played more center field in his career than Choo has. Thirty five games there to Choo's ten, although all 35 of those came way back in 2008. In the minors Bruce spent the majority of his time in center field — 205 of his 325 career minor league games. Choo spent 151 of his 600+ minor league games in center.
Not saying Bruce will look great out there, but he may be the better option.

The Bubble is everywhere in March, but it originated in auto racing
Story Highlights
The Bubble has come to refer to a state of late-February limbo in college hoops
Bubble also describes Indy 500 driver clinging to the race's last qualifying spot
Phrase made leap from Gasoline Alley to sports to lexicological omnipresence
Of the many famous bubbles the world has seen, from Housing Bubble to Dot-Com Bubble to Stock Market Bubble -- from Bubbles the Chimp to Seinfeld's Bubble Boy -- none has had the strange charisma or single-name star power of The Bubble, a fickle mistress still tormenting athletes well into its sixth decade.
The Bubble is everywhere in early March, popping up (and often just-plain popping) beneath college basketball teams, none of whom wants to be on it, for The Bubble has come to refer almost exclusively to a state of late-February limbo in that sport: Teams not quite in, but not quite out, of the NCAA tournament.
But that breezy definition doesn't do justice to the shape-shifting powers of The Bubble, whose ineffable qualities make it so difficult to describe. Just in the last two weeks we have heard:
"The [Northwestern] Wildcats aren't merely on the bubble," according to the Chicago Tribune. "They're looking down from a tightrope. 'We're living on the edge,' guard Nick Fruendt said."
Iowa State forward Royce White told the Iowa State Daily that The Bubble beneath the Cyclones is "a crapshoot. To me, to say that we're on the bubble before this game is kind of a slap in the face."
"I have a little experience of being on the bubble," said Jordan Theodore of Seton Hall. "I want to dance so bad."
The Bubble, by its very nature, is hard to pin down, as you can see. It is at once a tightrope, a cliff edge, a dice game, a slap in the face, an invitation to dance, a fickle mistress and a theological construct between heaven and hell.
The Bubble possesses, according to the reams of copy and hours of airtime devoted to it, a right side and a wrong side -- and hell hath no fury like a team that ends up on the wrong side of the scornful Bubble.
The Bubble may be the single biggest celebrity ever produced by March Madness, yet we hear very little of its origins. That's because the Bubble came late to the game, having begun its life in auto racing, most prominently at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. "In racing parlance, the qualified driver with the slowest speed is 'sitting on the bubble'," as the Associated Press noted in 1961, "waiting for it to burst when somebody turns in a better ten-mile run."
That is to say, The Bubble has always referred to the Indy driver clinging to the race's last qualifying spot, a spot he'll have to yield if or when a faster time is driven. Which is why the last day of qualifying is called Bubble Day or Bump Day.
The 1970s was one long Bubble Day. Brewers utility man Kurt Bevacqua won the first and evidently last Bazooka Bubble Gum Blowing Championship. Bubble Yum, Bubblicious and Nets guard Bubbles Hawkins were all introduced, more or less simultaneously. And as a metaphor, The Bubble continued its own rise, crossing over from Indy racers to professional golfers and even professional bowlers who were striving to make a tournament's cut.
The Bubble alit on a basketball court for the first time in recorded history -- near as I can tell -- in 1978. When the Milwaukee Bucks brought forward Otis Howard to camp, the Milwaukee Journal ran a small item, quickly forgotten: "Howard, a fourth-round draft pick, is sitting on the bubble." Howard played 14 games before his bubble burst, but by then The Bubble had floated onward, falling -- finally, and with great weight -- on college basketball.
As the St. John's Redmen rallied in 1979 to make and then advance in the NCAA tournament, coach Lou Carnesecca said they were "riding the bubble." It was a memorable utterance, and not just in hindsight, as The New York Times put the quote in their headline the next day.
The Bubble now belonged to college basketball, but largely remained a mystery to the game's fans. As the tournament grew in popularity and importance, The Bubble became hipster slang among coaches. But it had not yet entered the general public's water supply. "In the current basketball lingo, Kentucky and Florida are two basketball teams 'on the bubble'," noted the Lexington Herald Leader in 1985. "'On the bubble' refers to the indefinite post-season status of both teams."
Indeed, among writers covering teams whose tournament hopes were in jeopardy, The Bubble was very much on the bubble itself, contending with countless other analogies for journalistic supremacy. "The search for metaphors to describe their predicament has placed schools on the bubble, fence, brink or edge," wrote Jim O'Connell of the AP in 1989. "It was even described once as close enough to hear the music but too far away to join the dance."
Of course, we don't speak of Edge Teams, Brink Teams, Fence Teams or Wallflower Teams, because in the 1990s The Bubble prevailed. It became first the pre-eminent, and then the only, metaphor for tournament hopefuls by a kind of unconscious consensus. The Bubble spawned Bubble Watches and Bubble Teams, a phrase sometimes reduced to the first word only, as in "South Florida is a bubble."
The Bubble is now used endlessly in the way that all buzz phrases are before dying out. But somehow this one hasn't died. It made the leap from Gasoline Alley to sports buzz phrase to lexicological omnipresence.
We now have, at this time of year, more Bubble references than Lawrence Welk had bubbles. Quite how long this Bubble will last is anyone's guess. There doesn't appear to be a Bubble Bubble, like the Real Estate Bubble, but language is ever changing.
That's how it works, touching down out of the blue, lingering, alighting again, blessing us and then withdrawing, like the Good Witch in the Wizard of Oz, traveling in a bubble.

Raleigh >Gifts & Novelties > The Party Shop
2030 Clark Ave, Raleigh, NC | Directions 2760535.789020 -78.660027
Neighborhoods: University
Have Unique Items – I was searching for tractor napkins that were a "must have" for my dad's birthday party. I called. The staff was friendly and accurately described some very snazzy napkins. They called me back with pricing and count since I would be driving a distance to purchase them. When I called the next day to go pick up, the clerk had already placed all of that style at the register on hold for me! Very impressed! The only negative was parking at lunch time. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this store for its unusual variety not found at most party stores!!
Not shopping here again! – I was shocked at the attitude of the staff working at The Party Shop in Cameron Village. This is not the same place I have shopped many times before. I am very disappointed in the customer service. I will choose other party supply stores in the future. Be sure to look at the sign next to the cash register! I have never seen a return policy like their's before. If you purchase something, make certain you will keep it no matter what the circumstances are...even if there is a defect.
The conveniece of this store for those of us who live inside the beltline is far outweighed by all of the negatives about this store. The two women who work in this store are the most rude persons whom I have ever met - and their poor customer service skills really impact your shopping experience. My family was shopping in this store with approximately $75 worth of merchandise ready to purchase when one of the sales associates told me that I could not take photos in the store - when I tried to use my camera phone to take a picture of my 86 year old grandmother who was visiting us from out of town. My family (5 adults over 55, and me - a 32 year old professional) was astonished when this non-posted "policy" was conveyed so rudely. I also visited the store one week ago looking for a particular type of party plates and received a rude response when I inquired about the product. Further, the store is disorganized and overpriced. I will never shop here again.

Wolf Blitzer delivers the most important breaking news and political, international, and national security stories of the day. Tune to The Situation Room weekdays 5-6:30pm ET on CNN.
White House officials say they believe chemical weapons were used again by the Syrian regime. CNN's Elise Labott reports.
Less than a year after Putin's New York Times op-ed condemning the use of force in Syria without UN consent, Russia has troops on the ground in Ukraine. CNN's Brian Todd reports many are now calling the Russian leader a hypocrite.
Is the core leadership of al Qaeda losing control of its affiliates? CNN's Barbara Starr reports.
Some Christians in Syria say they are targeted by Islamist rebels, who accuse them of siding with Pres. Bashar al-Assad. CNN's Frederik Pleitgen has a rare report from inside the civil war-torn country.
In an interview with Wolf Blitzer, Bouthaina Shaaban, Syrian Pres. Bashar al-Assad's senior adviser, rails against foreign meddling in Syria's civil war.
While the warring parties are set to meet in Geneva for peace talks, the people of Syria face starvation, a lack of medical care, and intensifying violence that blocks life-saving aid from getting to those in need. CNN's Frederik Pleitgen is on the ground in Damascus, visiting one of the most distressed refugee camps.
Nearly three years after Syria's civil war began, U.S. officials are growing concerned that al Qaeda is using that country as a base to recruit and train Americans to wage jihad in the West. CNN's Jim Sciutto reports.
The civil war in Syria has reached new lows of chaos and violence as the Syrian opposition continues to fracture between moderate rebels and Islamist extremists - with the Islamists gaining the upper hand. CNN's Jim Sciutto reports on the deteriorating state of the opposition.
Although the eyes of the world have drifted elsewhere, the civil war rages on in Syria. Our Fred Pleitgen reports from the Damascus suburbs where Bashar al-Assad's army is pushing out rebel fighters block by block, neighborhood by neighborhood.
Suicide bombings targeting the Iranian embassy in Beirut killed 23 people and draw Lebanon deeper into neighboring Syria's civil war. CNN's Mohammed Jamjoom reports on the growing fears of sectarian violence in Lebanon.

Tourists flourish around Mount Dora Downtown in the Winter. We have crazy shops and fun restraurants. Pizzamore is the best in my opinion of all the captivating food places. It is owned by an industrious family, that loves to be social with you. Everytime you go there, they relish you. Their food includes pizza, subs, salads, and palatable desserts. Whenever Im in downtown Mount Dora with my friends, I always rapture a visit to this lovely small town restaurant.
